I would like to point out that one of my favorite materials are dryer sheets. They aren't as likely to rip as toilet paper is and they get a great texture if covered in pva/water mix. I would recommend soaking them from all visible sides at least twice to get all the fibres to stick where you want them to be. Leave it to dry completely between passes one and two. I always make my banners and blankets on terrain stuff in that way and the results are brilliant :)
@@DarkMatterWorkshop sadly one can't post pictures here. I just recently finished a really nice standard bearer for my blightkings with that method. Maybe I will get a camera setup one day to share stuff in videos here aswell. Love your work; very inspiring !
@@DarkMatterWorkshop Ahh, always lurking in the shadows, ready to strike with awesome crafts and entertaining content at any moment. 👀 Goed om te horen. 👍
Nice work! Your videos have been a great source of new techniques for solving miniature and terrain problems. I really appreciate it. Particularly the PVA/superglue technique. I still use that regularly.
My kids school ended a policy ,that allowed kids to take a bus to another students home ,provided the proper permission slips were filled out, so the parents don't want to or can't drive them to gaming sessions , this was really cool , will try this one weekend with the kids. Thank you.
What a fun idea! I have to try this myself. Need to make Whisper Merchant hanger-on for my Delaque gang, and I think toilet paper might just do the trick!
@@DarkMatterWorkshop You should, I'm pretty sure you'd enjoy it and you already have a bunch of skills that will carry over and give you a head start. Watching Dan Does' video now, great work there too!
Fun and simple project, will try this, also is you want firmer clothy materials I recommend using blue shop towels, they are much tougher but less easy to work with, I use them for banners and such
You could use recycled toiletpaper for the environment, and your environment will hate you for it. Coffee filters are thicker but should soak up watered glue well.
Oh, this is similar to a grim reaper I made. Though I made it a simple scythe out of a tooth pick, some hard plastic, and baking soda to seal and hide gaps on the mini and the scythe as well as to give the scythe some texture. Oh, also a big difference is that I made its body out of some toothpicks superglued together. I am more used to that sorta material.
@@DarkMatterWorkshop The great part is that the whole "okay, this didn't work but I learned quite a bit here" moment is way more fun when it (almost) doesn't cost you anything.
These are very creepy. There is a version of "Whistle, and I'll come to you" in which the pursuing menace is like a writhing bedsheet. It gave me the willies as a kid; and these have a similarly unpleasant aesthetic.
@@DarkMatterWorkshop They catch you by squirting chilli sauce in your eyes to blind you... Then they wrap their meat around you and suck out all your juices - like those creepy winged creatures in the movie 'Beastmaster'.
Hey Sylvain, Beter laat dan nooit 😉 Alles prima, binnenkort verhuizen waardoor ik geen tijd voor video’s heb. In de nieuwe woning is echter een veel grotere workshop dus goede vooruitzichten 🤘
@@DarkMatterWorkshop dat is leuk om te horen. Meer ruimte, meer grotere projecten... 🙄 Hopelijk zie ik die Pritt rollers nog eens langs komen die ik ooit eens stuurde. Daar moet zeker een leuk schattig machine'tje mee te maken zijn. 😁👍 Ik zie graag wat van je, als jij daar klaar voor bent. 👊😎
@@DarkMatterWorkshop Heel goed, schaam je 😉 Straks in je nieuwe woning kan je er een mega bouw van maken... voel je de verwachting al?! Geniet van je nieuwe woning straks en wij RUclips-slaven zien vanzelf wel iets van je langs komen!
IF worlds collide !!!! Ok bey.
Is this just a big toilet pun to you? You magnificent bastard. Great technique on those minis.
Toilet paper minis are always a good idea!! Gotta love budget friendly materials 😊
Thanks and yes !
Love the blood ghosts. Really is no excuse, budget-wise, when making minis!
Thanks ! Cheap and fun. Like my favorite women wait…
The. Best. Idea. Ever. PERIOD.
Thanks!
A gruesome little warband there, just shows how effective simple materials can be when scratch-building.
Awesome work as always Gert :)
Take care
Thanks! All the best.

@@DarkMatterWorkshop Shit, just tossed out a couple giant boxes of them a few days ago. Bloody hell they stink!
That spark of joy when a RUclipsr talks about PVA and you see Bison houtlijm. Every single time.
I love the smell of pva in the morning…
M Bison Houtlijm, "For you, the day that Bison came to your RUclips, was the most important day of your life. But, for me, it was Tuesday."
Good use for sprue pieces for the armatures.
Yes ! Good idea, whatever works.
Awesome! And stupid me uses it for cleaning his butt!
Thanks, you do you !
Gert is back, whooooh!
I might be absent but i’ll never truly leave.

Excellent work! It's nice to see simple minis made with easy to acquire parts and pieces! Making tabletops available to a wider audience is awesome!
Thanks! This hobby is for everyone!
What a fun idea! I have to try this myself. Need to make Whisper Merchant hanger-on for my Delaque gang, and I think toilet paper might just do the trick!
Oh yeah, perfect vibe for such a mini.
Well done Mr Gert !!! Spooky warband indeed !
Thanks!
This is neat. My go-to material for mini making is milliput, but I wouldn't be able to make many minis this fast with that.
Thanks, great material though, gotta give serieus sculpting a chance one day.
@@DarkMatterWorkshop You should, I'm pretty sure you'd enjoy it and you already have a bunch of skills that will carry over and give you a head start. Watching Dan Does' video now, great work there too!
You know, normally I don't like it when I see blood on toilet paper, but you have a way with things don't ya? These turned out sick Gert!
Thanks mate, you sick, sick man.
Love it Gert, simple and cool, been wondering when the next video from you was coming!!
Thanks ! It’s only been a month this time though 😉
As always awesome!
Merci !
Excellent idea!
Thanks, too good not to share.
Fun and simple project, will try this, also is you want firmer clothy materials I recommend using blue shop towels, they are much tougher but less easy to work with, I use them for banners and such
Thanks, is that the same as dryer sheet ?
@@DarkMatterWorkshop Not like a dryer sheet for a clothing dryer, theyre basically blue paper towels used by mechanics for cleaning grease
Got it ! I’ll try and find them, sounds like a great material.
@@DarkMatterWorkshop you can find them in automotive parts shop's here in the states if that helps
Super informatieve filmpjes Gert, jij bedenkt dingen die ik verder nog nergens heb gezien..top!
Dank u !

Thanks!
I still have paperwire cultists that i made almost the same way in 5th grade
I bet, so much fun.

Thank you very much!
Just so bloody good
Thanks !
Very nice this give idea for DnD games thank you 😊
Have fun!
Where is Gert?!?!
Moving house ! I’ll be back ! 😏
@@DarkMatterWorkshop I hope it's a long house :D I apologize for screaming at you :)
This is so cool. I need to try this!
Thanks! Please do !

Flee! It is the Shawarma!
Wich paint did you use for them, the green stuff world one?
It’s the coagulated blood by GSW
Damn! Zap-A-Gap still exists???
For shure ! My favourite super glue.
@@DarkMatterWorkshop I have not seen it anywhere in .. ages. At least since the late 90's..
Kool gäng. I like
Thanks mate
Toilet paper as a budget material...Different story just a couple of years ago...
Good point…
This minis would be affordable, unless there is another pandemic...
I’m taking my chances.
Hi,
Dit video'tje had ik helemaal gemist.
Alles goed met je?
Long time no see.
Het gaat je goed!
